Warsaw City Offices May Close Thursday For Dobbins Funeral
WARSAW – Some Warsaw offices may be closed on Thursday, Feb. 6, between 10:30 a.m. and approximately 12:30 p.m. to allow employees to attend the funeral services for Officer Jason Dobbins, who died on Saturday, Feb 1.
Whether an office is closed depends in part on size and staffing levels.
“We are not requiring employees to attend the service, so it will depend on staffing levels remaining in the offices. Some departments are smaller or may have more employees who worked with Officer Dobbins personally, and they may not have staff on hand to keep their office open. Others may have employees who remain at work,” said Staci Young, assistant to Mayor Joe Thallemer.
Young said they appreciate everyone’s understanding.
Dobbins was on duty when he suffered a cardiac event on Jan. 24 and had been recovering from surgery when he passed away.
